Hinton Staff Certified In Advanced Building Techniques -- Clay County, NC
Posted by johndilbeck on Friday, July 1 2005 at 7:07 AM
(Context Tag: Hayesville NC) Bill Curns and Wayne Stafford, staff members of Hinton Rural Life Center, have completed a certification course in advanced building techniques taught by Advanced Energy in Raleigh, NC.
These advanced techniques make houses more structurally sound, improve the life of houses, lower maintenance, and, most importantly, improve energy efficiency, officials said.
Most of these construction methods are common sense applications, which do not increase the cost of building homes and saves the homeowner money on heating and cooling bills.
Curns said the training "taught the proper way to build homes that are affordable for families. The staff at Advanced Energy are knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge with anyone who pursues their help."
"As with any job, there is a level of quality required," Stafford said. "At the Advanced Energy seminar, we were taught the energy-efficient high level of home construction. A house is a system and any change can have either positive or negative effects. We now can build a better, maintenance-free and more energy-efficient home."
The Hinton Center construction staff has completed certification training that allows Hinton houses to be designated as SystemVision homes with guaranteed energy costs. System Vision homes are part of the federal government Energy Star designation.
Advanced Energy inspects all Hinton Center houses and guarantees the heating and cooling costs of these houses to homeowners. Advanced Energy will reimburse the homeowner for costs that exceed the guaranteed heating and cooling costs.

Posted by johndilbeck on Friday, July 1 2005 at 5:58 AM
(Context Tag: Murphy NC) A special fundraising effort for the new Hiwassee Valley Pool and Wellness Center has been launched.

The response has been great, and it's not just graduates living in the Murphy area who are taking part. Brick donations are coming in from Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia, and Illinois. People are using the opportunity to honor friends or family members, celebrate happy events or just leave their mark at the new facility.
The inscribed bricks will be featured in decorative arrangements at the Pool and Wellness Center, from $100 bricks that will pave the patio walkway to $250 bricks for the pool area, and $500 bricks used at the entrance or lobby area.
A new wave of mailings will be going out in the next few weeks, so if any graduate of Murphy High School hasn't gotten the letter yet, watch your mailbox.
Brick forms are available at area businesses, banks and libraries.
